Thank you Shay! You just confirmed I'm doing everything right! Big brands are reaching out and are all paid collabs! had to stop taking gifted collabs because you absolutely have to pay taxes on them especially when its over $600! I was losing faith until I locked in ! I'm so excited for the future!
@@shannyshavon8966 She explained it in the video but if you are obligated to post about those “gifts” it’s technically a form of payment and they report those funds to the IRS. IRS will then make you pay taxes on them. It’s technically money you earned. So you only want PR gifts or no obligatory gifts ones that don’t require a post.
Ma’am so glad you and hubby believe in outsourcing. I outsourced everything Chile.. Auntie has a whole team ok and I ain’t giving them up. Housekeepers, Nanny’s when my baby was younger, lawn care, electrician, MUA, Hair Stylist, Braider (they would come to the crib and do our hair), handyman, heck even a cook when I was booked and busy. DO IT !!!
I just started following you about a month ago. I absolutely love that you know and give reverence to God. Knowing that yes we have free will but God is the source from whence blessings come. I absolutely love the content, your energy and how you pour in to us that are on the journey. I’ve quickly become a supporter. Thank you 😊
Because of you and another content creator, I will be starting social media this week if not today. Thank you so much for all the information for inspiring me to move forward. Thanks
Shay, I appreciate your willingness to share openly with others. Your generous heart has encouraged me and made me feel like I will be ready sooner than I thought."❤❤
Ms Shay Nicole I truly appreciate you for always being you and helping us! Your energy is unmatched. I pray many more blessings into your life with your beautiful family ❤❤ thank you sis 🙏🏾🙏🏾.
When you mentioned a content creator changing their wig or clothes and people should still recognize them...that gave me such a laugh in a good way. That's real talk.
Wow! This video was TOO GOOD! The viral example is so true! I went viral for a random video and have up until recently felt pressured to keep creating content around that video topic! Thank you for the advice!!
I watched this video in it's entirety and I absolutely enjoying every second of it. I love your personality and how real you kept it. Thanks for being you and sharing your experience and advice with us! ❤
I want to Thank you from my heart for being real and explaining to us on how to growing our channel!! Really appreciate this!!! I wish everyone luck on your channel journey! ❤
As always you dropped some serious gems. I pause this video like 100 times taking notes and running to my husband’s home office sharing with him. I truly appreciate you and all the effort you put into sharing knowledge with us. Thank you ❤
Thanks to my daughter for sending me this video. I'm a new Vloger and really trying to deep dive into it, so thank you for Insight. You are dropping 💎 💎
Hi Shay, I want to really thank you for sharing this valuable info for us newbies to content creation. My biggest take away was starting with posting shorts. As I've been fussing over content for my first long YT video. I can do shorts right now. You're so fabulous & one of my top faves to watch always. Thank you so much. 😍❤👏🏾
Thank you for this video! I’m new to my own content creation, I used to only post for my businesses. I just now got monetized and bonuses on multiple platforms so now it’s go time! Thanks again this was great ❤
This video was absolutely amazing 🙌🏽 packed with so much valuable and helpful information. I definitely will be implementing a few of your content suggestions…. You most definitely have yourself a new subscriber. Thank you again for your transparency in sharing all your content, gems, and support! May God continue to prosper you and your business! 🥰🙏🏾💖✨🫶🏽
Appreciate you Shay for always dropping gems and encouraging us! Do you think you would ever demonstrate how you would edit and/or how to add certain graphics?Like how do you include screenshots of pics or previous videos side by side while you’re explaining the content? Hopefully that made sense. 😅
Hey love! I'm so thankful you're here! Also I am happy that I know longer edit my TH-cam videos lol That process was so draining, I HATED IT. I now have an editor, and I'll probably never show editing tutorials because that would require me to show steps or editors (which I HATE😂)
@@shaynicolexo I completely understand sis! I want you to continue living stress free and unbothered from this editing lifestyle. 😂 It’s not giving soft girl at all. Just keep serving looks and giving inspiration! 🫶🏾🙌🏾
Thank you for this Shay. I love how real you are. Great tips and advise you've shared especially for someone who wants to start being a content creator.
Awwww thank youuu Shay for answering my question🙏🏻 I love love your content definitely taking your advice I actually started posting shorts after I asked the question thank you for that❤
Hey Shay thank you SOOOO much for taking time to answer my question and all of the other questions. Your answer completely makes sense. I truly appreciate your transparency and honesty! May God continue blessing your family and you.
Just subscribed! Love that you are willing to help us smaller content creators for free. Thank you😊 oh and you are in Houston that’s a plus. Love that🥰
On point advice, Ive been behind the scenes in fashion and the points you shared mattered. Especially example of wanting family oriented deal but your page has content to the contrary such as profanity laced music, as well as making content for gifted product. Thank you for warning people about not ignorantly signing documents. Bless God for how He has blessed your rise.
Thank you ❤ stopped watching the video and created and posted content. Now I’m back to finish watching ! Came back from Cartagena, Colombia it was a blast.
You are so amazing, like sharing these gems! In society most people don’t share.. you will definitely be blessed for encouraging others. Have a great upcoming week❤🥰💕 Can’t wait to see all the highlights from NYFW😎
Love you 4 Real Real! Always cute and classy and helping her tribe! Thank you for your insight into content creation, the pitfalls to avoid, and the push to Just Do It! Shout out to your assistant Alicia too! She’s that girl behind the scene!!
New subscriber! 💕 I needed to hear all of this! I’ve been really trying to get in my content creator bag. I was also the one buying cameras and wasn’t consistent on the phone 🥴 thanks for this!
I appreciate these gems, NOT all creators are willing to share knowledge. I'm still on my journey. I'm trying to figure out if I tell my co -workers about my channel. I was not sure about sharing this info about me
Yes the luxury of life my mom sent out laundry out I'm 50 I remember opening the paper brown packages clean laundry so I completely understand and I had a person to help with cleaning so yea I get it help ❤❤❤❤❤
I just randomly found you. I really enjoyed this video as a new content creator. This is not easy, there has been lots of trial and error. In another video I heard you say you are a Sagg married to a Virgo, I love that combination! Baby them Saggs don’t play & will go off!! I’m subscribing sis ❤
Where do you find a video editor? I have a lot of content however it’s very time consuming editing with a full time job and kids sports activities. 😩 Love your content Shay! Some of the best advice I’ve heard so for on YT.
Hey Shay❤ watching from South Africa 🇿🇦 and girl please this was so informative ❤just started with my TH-cam channel and I’m running with this information
Thank you sooo much! ❤ Honestly I wish I could go live to do audits everyday, I really love it 😩 but I've been traveling every week chiiillleee. I'm sitting here answering your comment while at a whole conference lol So thank you for your patience. Promise to be back with IG audits a soon!🥰
You are THAT girl. You have helped me so much on my last years journey. You don’t know me; but my husband now knows you lol Me in the mall yesterday.. “umm babe My girl shay said” lol we were in Macys 🤭
Hi, I just watched you for the first time on my television so I had to come on my phone to subscribe. Enjoying you blessings to you and all that you do.
Hey Shay Thank you so much for sharing ... LOVE your content, my question was as a small Designer/ content creator do you think NYFW ( feb) would be A great way to start to make my presence known in the fashion/ Content space even though I have to invites to anything yet?🤭
“No obligation gift” for tax write offs for brands was very helpful!!!!!! I’m in the lifestyle and fitness space on IG & TikTok ONLY. I just had 2 brands I accepted product from and I’m glad I watched this video. I will still go through with them because they have my word already & the product is already on the way, but moving forward I’m not trying to get penalized with my taxes because some one sent me a “gift” that I’m really getting charged for.
Hello Shay, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge 😊 I am starting my Influencer journey how should we go about receiving PR packages 📦 without disclosing our home address? Also when is it necessary to do an LLC or sole proprietor for your TH-cam business. Thank you 🙏🏾
Love the video❤ and I appreciate the advice. I started YT channel this month but hadn’t posted yet due to that whole imposter syndrome thing but I’m going to login to the channel and post it as short form content❤❤❤❤
Question! How did you go about finding your video editor? I’m assuming there was trial and error before finding your current editor, but I eventually want to have my own however I want my videos edited a particular way, any input on this?
Also can you give advice on how to find a good editor. Editing is consuming my time it’s not my ministry 😂 Auntie over here struggling and I feel it’s impeding my quality.
I have to be honest, my editor was def sent by God!😩 I randomly found her one night while searching IG hashtags for an editor. I started working with her, as just one of her many clients back in March. Today she works for me full-time. So you need to pray on it!
@@shaynicolexo ok sounds like I’m on the right track been searching insta, and using wisdom by looking at their posted work. I get it, everyone I’ve spoken to says landing a good editor is a journey. 😀 I appreciate the advice
Thank you for this! I knew that I was going in the right direction by removing some of the content on my IG. A lot of it would be seen as sexually suggestive, and I want to be taken seriously. I'm transitioning into the fashion and beauty industries, and I want my content to reflect that. I also want it to align with the content I have in mind for my TH-cam channel. Thank you so much!!!❤❤
I get stuck on wanting to do lifestyle mix with sit down videos cause I’m into copywriting social media management & coaching and want to offer both content creation & my services. Lol I think trying to do all these on one TH-cam account might be too much ?
Thank you Shay! You just confirmed I'm doing everything right! Big brands are reaching out and are all paid collabs! had to stop taking gifted collabs because you absolutely have to pay taxes on them especially when its over $600!
